Featured in baby name books
Art is an Irish and Celtic name meaning “bear,” used figuratively for a warrior or bear-hero. In Irish tradition Art was the high king who fathered Cormac, and Art Oenfer, “Art the lonely,” is a mythic warrior. In Britain Art is used as a short form of Arthur, though the Irish name is unrelated.
